For many, a working vehicle is more than just transportation—it's a lifeline to employment, education, and essential services. Fix-It Day provided brake replacements, battery changes, oil changes, and other repairs, with over 250 parts donated by CarParts.com and its partners. Among those who took part in the day was Safe Parking LA graduate and board member Mello Shorter who reflected on the event's impact: "Maintaining a vehicle isn't cheap, and for many of us, it's one of the biggest challenges we face. Having a resource like Fix-It Day lifts some of that weight—it's one less thing to worry about, so we can focus on getting where we need to go. It's incredibly encouraging, not just for the participants, but for all of us as a community. When you're in a tough spot, it's easy to feel stuck, but events like this remind us that we're not alone. We have support, we're taking it day by day, and we're still moving forward."
Industry partners played a vital role in making Fix-It Day possible. JC Whitney provided essential tools—including dollies, jack stands, and other equipment—that allowed mechanics to efficiently access and repair vehicles on site. LIQUI MOLY supplied premium motor oils and additives to enhance vehicle longevity, while Bosch contributed high-quality wiper blades and other critical components ensuring each repaired vehicle was better equipped to handle changing road and weather conditions. Wrench dispatched certified mechanics who performed repairs onsite, and The Lime Truck served fresh, hot meals to participants, volunteers, and mechanics throughout the day. And finally, the day would not have been possible without Pacific Nexus bringing the event to life. As part of the event, participants received complimentary access to the Petersen Automotive Museum, giving them the opportunity to explore the exhibits while their vehicles underwent repairs.
Beyond the repairs, participants were provided with complimentary CarParts+ Memberships, granting them exclusive discounts and roadside assistance to help maintain their vehicles long after the event. Additionally, each participant received custom-curated care packages, including jumper cables, car accessories, and other essential car maintenance items.
"CarParts.com and its Fix-It Day sponsors set the gold standard for how businesses can align their strengths with community service to create real impact," says Carmela Carreño, Director of Development at Safe Parking LA. "Deepest gratitude to everyone for demonstrating that when businesses and nonprofits collaborate with purpose, they drive change—literally and figuratively."
The event also received official recognition from Los Angeles Council District 5, with representatives from Councilwoman Katy Yaroslavsky's office, including Thao Tran and Matthew Tenchavez, presenting Certificates of Recognition to CarParts.com and its partners for their commitment to serving the community.
